A Late Birthday Party / MAY 26, 2063 Night

[therealbrianna]

[ After a short "vacation" at Tokyo, Brianna sends a text to her friends. It's a general invitation that stretches from her blade mates to her mentors, to well, the whole of Netsach (as long as she knows them. Also extends to some Zangyaku friends). Of course, she asks her parents for permission first. ]

SENT: 03:00 PM

Hello friend! It would make me very happy if you could make it to Haven this Saturday to celebrate my 520th birthday. Drinks on me. :)

- OOC note: Feel free to tag in whenever you like, whatever you like.

[mordechai]

Yes.

[Plain and simple. He can't think in a place like this.]

[ktotheatothez]

[Seeing Renae light up makes Kaz shrug and light up his own cig, it's a gesture that says Hey, I had to... Y'know.]

Hm?

[He takes a puff and looks at the older man questioningly. Actually, he looks like a deer caught in the headlights.]

[ktotheatothez]

M-mom?

[Have a very confused/shocked Kaz, Maggie. But wait, lucky charm? Mom? Wait. It couldn't be... Look at the poor boy desperately struggling to put two and two together because he's so flustered.]

You're Maggie. Ate Maggie?!

[therealbrianna]

[ Oh. Much better! ]

Uhm, thanks! I...'m sorry I'm not sure who you are though...

[ He does look like Maggie and Cisco.

Plus she did say not sure, not I have no idea who you are, sir. ]

[kinesthesia]

[ This is her making a face, Brianna. It's an expression that some of the special cases under her watch have remarked, makes her look younger than she actually is. ]

Bri, [ a pause, a smile as if to ask Can I call you Bri? ] fun is definitely going to happen, but believe me when I say that you are never bothering me or your Tito Cen [ nodding now to the general direction of one Vincenzo Profaci, because yes, she is pulling that card, Wolf's Choice is family, and Brianna is Tala's new little sister, and let's not go back to her being Hikaru's new daughter. ]

You need anything, you let us know.

[kinesthesia]

[ Smiling at that: Tala is most definitely Tala. ]

Well, honestly. We both do, really.

[ Quiet shrug. ]

Just didn't think to say anything until I saw us all [ well, almost all ] in the Great Hall when Riley woke up. Guess I got a little nostalgic. [ To put it using her husband's words. ]

[kinesthesia]

[ Turning away to order a glass of her own ( Bénédictine, three fingers ) because she's biting back the tug of a smile.

She is so happy that living with Cen has taught ( a little ) her how to work on her poker face. ]

Have you tried?

[kinesthesia]

[ Smiling quietly as she sips her drink. ]

Yeah. They're not that fun. [ She doesn't mean to find Cen in the crowd -- she just does. ] I was a terrible homebody. Only ever ventured into clubs to dance and only when I was dragged out by that one.

[atlas_shrugged]

[ Brigade smiles at that ] Well, the best partners are the ones who make you grow, right?

[kinesthesia]

That, they do.

[ She's really just waiting for her husband to look over -- but he's busy and she knows how he gets when he's busy, so she turns back to the Promethean. ]

How goes training in Kibo?

he did this to himself. love, cisco

[renascens]

[ Okay, yeah. So maybe he walked into that a little too easily. Talking to his Uncle Hikaru has always been an exercise in Renae please learn to develop a filter. ]

She's cute.

[ Still typing, already regretting this conversation. ]

[renascens]

[ Right. Shit. Um. ]

Renae Montelibano-Profaci.

[ A declaration that is possibly too fast but oddly audible, punctuated by the awkwardest of apologetic smiles ( slow down, bro. )

Take three? ] Sorry. Um, hi. Renae. I'm Cisco's kid. [ Thumb jerked in his mother's direction, before he somewhat swings his gaze to where Maggie has returned, triumphant.

No, he's not going to look at his sister right now. Back to Brianna.

Smile. ]

[renascens]

[ Real cute, kid. ]

Relax. If Mom likes you enough to give you that bottlecap necklace, I figure you're a non-factor.

[ With that, he's reaching for the bottle of wine he'd stowed in a bag beside the couch. ] Want some? No glasses though.

[maggienificent]

[ And here she is, preening at you.

You're cute, kid. But she's a fox, not a cougar. ]

The one and only, Maggienificent.

[ Ate Maggie, huh?

As your Uncle Paolo would say: God be with you, Kaz. You've not met the Impossible Twin, prepare to regret it. ]

[maggienificent]

[ She's making an oh, okay face that is far more amused than it is apologetic.

She'll take one stick now. ] Got a light?

[ Social smoker, this one. Never keeping a lighter means getting to bug other people for theirs. A person's choice of lighter can tell a lot about them, after all. ]

[maggienificent]

[ Someone? A favor?

Don't dangle the chicken in front of the fox, Uncle. It's not very nice.

Sidling up, smiling as sweetly as she can manage without giving how interested she is in this information away--

--it's... not working. Subtlety, thy name is NOT Margaret Montelibano-Profaci. ]

[maggienificent]

[ Pleased, sounds. Very pleased sounds.

And don't worry Mama Dee, she will never, ever tell.

( Hallo. I'm home now. Well, for awhile. Got a week before I hit the road again.

You sure you don't need an extra pair of hands behind the bar? )

She's seen you work. It's pretty amazing. ]

[maggienificent]

[ Yeah, she really likes you.

Taking that hand now and looping your arm through hers, grinning all the while. ]

This is why we will be friends. So, War Hounds, right? [ A beat. ] Yeah, I'm nosy, my mom likes you, and you're Uncle Hikaru's new little girl.

[ She says those things with genuine feeling. Her philosophy is simple after all: she's nosy because she cares, her mother is the most important female figure in her life, and Hikaru Shinta had once taught her and her brother the Art of Being Nuisances. ]

[larue]

[ A smile as he joins her. He's not drinking though, opting instead to smoke.

The shot with Brianna and the beer Hikaru he'd been given were more than enough for tonight. ]

[larue]

[ Absently licking his lips because they feel dry, then chasing that with a sip from his beer. ]

I should head over to her soon.

[larue]

[ Grinning in response and then coming over to giver her another hug-- ] Happy birthday, Bribri, [ he murmurs, arms tightening around her because... he'd actually contemplated missing this.

And would have totally regretted it if he had. ]

[thetalavega]

That was pretty nice, huh? All things considered.

[Because while she is happy to see Riley Falner up and about, she also knows the implications behind it. She knows them well, being the Key and all.]

[bostova]

... No.

[ :T ]

[mordechai]

You should really get your own lighter.

[Grousing, even though he knows your habits and is already handing his lighter over.]

yup. 83

[icarusalsoflew]

Define "cute".

[You ought to be good at that, right? You're fucking brilliant.

And yes, Hikaru Shinta is out to milk this.]
